Frequently asked questions
What cleaning methods are suitable for Kusari?
Use clear warm water first, then a mild detergent solution, then isopropyl alcohol. Pat dry. For stubborn stains, use a 10% bleach and 90% water solution, rinse thoroughly, and stop if results are unsatisfactory.
Is Kusari suitable for healthcare environments?
Yes. The vinyl face provides a moisture barrier with anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties, and the fabric meets BIFMA standards for healthcare furniture.
How does Kusari differ from a woven fabric?
Kusari uses a knitted polyester backing rather than a woven construction, giving the vinyl face a more flexible hand. The smooth vinyl surface is bleach-cleanable and non-porous.
